Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Just after I finished answering Black Widow's question, I suddenly saw a gecko crawl up and lie behind Black Widow. I was so shocked I almost got goosebumps.

Of course, if I had a scalp, I wouldn't care now, because the gecko is already crawling towards us.

"You...behind you," I called out anxiously, winking and making faces at the Black Widow.

"What?" The Black Widow looked at me with great confusion, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

From my angle, the gecko looked like a dinosaur, just lying there, which scared me so much that my whole body tensed up. Was I going to be the gecko's dinner soon?

How could Black Widow be so stupid? She didn't react at all when someone was standing right behind her. Where's your animal instinct? How have you survived this long?

"Quickly turn around and bite him!" I kept thinking to myself, hoping that the Black Widow would react, but that damned Black Widow seemed to be dumbfounded.

She just stood there dumbfounded, staring at me without reacting at all, like an idiot. I really wanted to give that idiot Black Widow a good widow a good slap.

As the gecko slowly crawled over, I couldn't care less about anything else and shouted anxiously to the Black Widow, "Run! There's a monster behind you!"

After handing it over, I quickly scrambled to one side. That spider had at least eight legs, while I had none. I was already doing right by the Black Widow by being able to make a sound.

So if we really have to escape, the Black Widow will definitely be faster than me. So for now, all I can do is run for my life, since there's nothing else I can do.

But I had barely escaped a few steps when I was immediately entangled in a spider web, and no matter how I climbed, I couldn't move forward an inch.

Holy crap, what does this mean? Does that Black Widow want me to use her as bait, throw it at the gecko, and then run away?

I remember geckos have a skill: when they're trying to escape, they break off their tails to attract the attention of predators, and then they run away.

But now that Black Widow is even more direct, she actually used me as bait! That Black Widow's poison isn't just her own venom, her heart is poisonous too!

No wonder that little black guy didn't want to accept this black widow. If it were me, I wouldn't accept her either. How could she be so vicious?

The moment I was entangled, I felt utterly hopeless and just wanted to escape for my life. But no matter how I tried to run, I was stuck in the spider silk and couldn't move forward at all.

Suddenly, I was pulled backward by the spider silk. Instantly, I felt despair. I was definitely going to die this time. How could I survive the gecko's pursuit?

Just when I was in despair, a voice suddenly rang out behind me: "What are you doing?"

Isn't that the voice of Little Black Spider? Could it be that Little Black has returned at this crucial moment? Could it be that it has come back to save us?

I was practically crying my eyes out, just like the farmers who met the People's Liberation Army during the Reform and Opening Up period.

But when I turned around to look, I was almost scared to death. I saw the Black Widow using her spider silk to pull me along, and Little Black was next to the gecko.

The gecko looked at me with a rather sullen expression, I wondered what it was thinking.

I don't know what they're thinking, but I know what I'm thinking. They wouldn't betray me and try to feed me to that gecko, would they?

Could it be that unlucky? That little black spider didn't look like that at all. How could it do something so immoral?

I have absolutely no idea what to do now, I'm really extremely depressed.

“Although I didn’t find your friend, I found my friend, and I believe my friend can help find your friend,” the little black guy said to me from the side.

He rattled off a string of tongue twisters, talking about friends and what, like if we're friends, why would he eat me?

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you spacing out for?" Xiao Hei shouted at me loudly.

"Huh? What?" I said, quite frightened.

“I said, you haven’t found your friend, but my friend can help you find your friend,” Xiao Hei repeated.

"Huh? What? This is your friend?" I said happily, as if I had heard the best news.

"Yeah, what else did you think?" The little black guy looked at me strangely, wondering what was wrong with me.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing, as long as we're friends, it's good to be friends." I quickly said happily.

"Yes, my friend is the Thief Saint Wang Qiang," the spider, Xiao Hei, introduced.

“Is he the Thief Saint King? Strong? Strong is an adjective. The title is Thief Saint King,” the gecko interjected, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Anyway, he's really amazing. Thief Saint Wang Qiang, how can you help me find my friend?" I humbly asked, crawling forward a few times.

"Well, I naturally have my own methods. What can't I find? Let alone a mere maggot, I can find even the most precious things." The Thief Saint King said arrogantly.

Hearing this made me extremely happy. It seems that rescuing Dafu tonight shouldn't be a problem. As long as we can find him, we can figure out a way to rescue him.

The house is only so big. I don't believe we can't find him in one night. As long as we find Dafu and rescue him, we'll leave here immediately.

"Then where should I begin my search?" I asked politely, since I needed their help.

"Well." The Thief King looked around, as if he was observing the terrain, or perhaps he was thinking about something.

Regardless, this Thief King Qiang seems quite professional, at least for now. We can only place our hopes on him.

As the Thief King Qiang looked around, I immediately followed suit, eager to find Da Fu's whereabouts so we could escape this place as soon as possible.

But the surroundings were a complete mess; a single man's house is always messy. After looking around for a while, the gecko pointed to Old Wang's room and said, "It should be in that room."

We quickly looked into the room, only to find it pitch black inside. The door was only half-open, so we could barely see what was inside, let alone whether there was any danger.

"How can you be so sure it's inside?" I asked, quite curiously.

"If it's not in the living room or kitchen, it must be under the bed in the bedroom. Do you think he'd be sleeping in his arms?" the Thief King Qiang said with great disdain.

Wow, what he said actually makes a lot of sense. The more you worry, the more mistakes you make. How could I forget such a simple reasoning?

"Let's go take a look." Before I could even speak, the Black Widow pulled me toward the bedroom.
